For over 50 years Tennsco has been a leading manufacturer of high-quality steel storage solutions such as filing systems, shelving and lockers. Tennsco offers a massive product line featuring thousands of items and the task of cataloging each piece is significant. Photographing every item from various angles and in multiple color choices became both time and cost-prohibitive. Tennsco needed a solution to quickly generate fully rendered images of each product from multiple camera angles.

The Project

Mike Hatch is a mechanical engineer consulting in the disk-drive industry and was one of the first to use Finite Element techniques to improve the design of various elements in disk-drives. Because virtually every element in a disk drive can be meshed in 2D and then extruded, AutoCAD 2D drawings are the basis for his models. He has developed a suite of meshing/nodeing tools that enable manual meshing and nodeing and then extracting node numbers and coordinates in ANSYS input format.
